BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. Independence Day Jersey . -- When Saul Alvarez steps from a black SUV into a swath of media and fans, he keeps his head low and his gaze neutral as he calmly follows his entourage to work. Footwork, timing, focus -- theyre all impeccable. "Its normal for me now," he says with a grin while getting his hands wrapped moments later. "People are always around me." At just 23 years old, the freckle-faced Mexican fighter called Canelo has mastered the moves of a star. He usually handles his skyrocketing celebrity with calm and poise, always coming off as a hungry, serious athlete who cares little for his sports near-requisite bragging and boasting. Just three years after the Mexican junior middleweight champions first major U.S. fights, Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) will be under his sports biggest spotlight Saturday night in Las Vegas when he faces Floyd Mayweather Jr., the biggest star of them all. Alvarez has studied Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) extensively, but not for tips on his opponents taunting, his spendthrift public persona. Canelos bankable celebrity got him into this lucrative fight with Money May, but he plans to win it by relying on the natural skills and acquired work ethic that propelled him here. "Ive always said Ive never fought to my potential," Alvarez said. "Ive never fought at 100 per cent of my ability. My opponents have never brought that out in me. I think Floyd is going to be the one who brings it out." Alvarez prepared for the bout in high-altitude Big Bear, following the example of countless fighters who have taken themselves away from celebrity distractions by going up into the San Bernardino Mountains. He worked out in a Spartan, one-ring boxing gym in the converted garage of a house owned by Sugar Shane Mosley, the long-reigning champion who has lost to both men in Saturdays bout. While Alvarez works out with trainer Chepo Reynoso and a retinue of coaches, Alvarezs brothers and assorted hangers-on, the gym stereo blares doo-wop, 12-bar blues and 60s bubble-gum pop records. Ranchera and hip-hop, the dual staples of many modern boxers, dont make the playlist until later in the workout. While hes a veteran in many rules of his game outside the ring, Alvarez is still too young to be afraid of trying new things. For the first time in his career, he prepared for Mayweather by hiring a strength coach, a nutritionist and a chef. "I think were putting together a good game plan to beat Mayweather, and up here we have no distractions," Reynoso said through a translator. "We worked harder than ever for this fight. I cant explain it now, but youre going to see the results." Alvarez betrays no real mental weaknesses in his preparations for Mayweather -- only a quiet confidence, and no overcompensation for the daunting task in front of him. Instead, Alvarez quietly agrees with Reynosos opinions about his advantages, insisting he can do things nobody has ever done against Mayweather. Canelo is an accurate puncher carrying more power than most of Mayweathers previous opponents. His percussive right hand is among the most dangerous weapons in boxing -- as several injured sparring partners could attest this summer. His jab work is more disciplined and effective than most of Mayweathers recent opponents, which could mess with the veteran champions game plan. He is naturally bigger than Mayweather, who easily could have more than a 10-pound weight disadvantage on fight night against Alvarez after the Mexican star rehydrates from the 152-pound limit. But Alvarezs most important asset, he believes, is his mind. "A lot of people get impatient and try to take his head off," Alvarez said. "Thats when they start missing punches, and thats when Floyd can beat you with counterpunches. Im not going to fall into that. I already know thats what he wants you to do." Although Mosley turned down an invitation from Reynoso to spar with Alvarez, the fight fascinates him as a spectator. Hes among the wary observers who believe Canelo has the best chance in years to end Mayweathers unbeaten run. "Canelo can connect, but this isnt going to be a one-punch knockout," Mosley said. "Hes going to have to wear him down, get him dazed. ... Canelos speed and his defence, that was unexpected for me. I thought when I cracked that kid, Im going to knock him out. It never happened. Floyd, he might be thinking the same thing." Mosley said Alvarez fit in seamlessly into his home, even playing video games and working in the gym with Mosleys son, Shane Jr. Mexicos shining star can have a little quiet fun in Big Bear while hes preparing to stun Mayweather and the world. "I dont think Floyd expects Canelo to be as good as hes going to be," Mosley said. "Hes better defensively than you think, better in stamina. Hes young, but Canelo has been in big events almost his whole career. Hes fought in front of more people than this. Hes not afraid of the big stage. I dont think he gets afraid anymore."

SUN CITY, South Africa -- Thomas Bjorn carved out two eagles in his last nine holes, one brilliant and one a little lucky, to come from behind and win the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Sunday, closing with a 65 for 20-under overall and a two-shot victory. Overnight leader Jamie Donaldson of Wales wasted a three-shot advantage with a final-round 70 and tied for second with Sergio Garcia (65). Bjorns sweet five iron into No. 10 set up the first eagle to push him past Donaldson. The Dane had his second on No. 14 after his approach pitched in a bunker and rolled up onto the green. "They were two big moments," Bjorn said. "Obviously having two eagles on the back nine on a Sunday doesnt happen very often. The shot into 14 was a bit fortunate but thats what happens when you win golf tournaments, I guess." The $1.25 million winners check at Sun City is the 42-year-old Bjorns biggest prize and its his 15th European Tour title. Donaldson was bidding to become the first debut winner at Sun City since Zimbabwes Mark McNulty in 1986 but bogeyed No. 9, and couldnt find any more birdies until No. 17. Garcias challenge slipped away with a dropped shot on No. 16 after a run of four straight birdies at the end of his front nine, allowing Bjorn to bogey the last at Gary Player Country Club and still win. Bjorns triumph was hailed by fans in the galleries on No. 18 waving streams of South African flags in latee afternoon sunshine on a day dedicated in the country to prayer and reflection following the death of former President Nelson Mandela. Clint Dempsey Jersey. The tournament stood for a rendition of the South African anthem at the end. "I think to the whole world he was just an inspiration to human beings. He was a great man," Bjorn said of Mandela at the trophy presentation. "To see what one man can do, its an inspiration to all of us. If we all just did a bit more, this world would be a better place." FedEx Cup and European money list winner Henrik Stenson was fourth on 6 under after his 67 in the No. 3-ranked Swedes first tournament back since ending last season as the worlds best-performing player. Brendon de Jonge (66) was fifth on 15 under and Charl Schwartzel (66) sixth on 13 under, the highest placed South African. Ryan Moore of the United States, another Sun City rookie, was in contention through three rounds before a 73 on Sunday took him back to a tie for seventh with U.S. Open champion Justin Rose. Home favourite and three-time champion Ernie Els had to deal with news of Mandelas passing on Thursday and the death of his former psychological coach on Saturday, and ended with a second straight 77 to finish 12 over par and second from last in the expanded 30-man field. This is the first year the Nedbank has been part of the European Tours schedule.
